Abstract

Sub uterine involution is one of the pathological symptoms of the postpartum period, which causes complications. This is indicated by the size of the fundus uterine, which is greater than the normal size and elongated outflow of lochia. One of the non-pharmacological methods for preventing sub uterine involution is postpartum yoga which focuses on physical and breathing exercises, strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles, and relaxation of autosuggestions. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of postpartum yoga on uterine involution. A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test with the control group was applied in this study. Thirty-eight postpartum women received postpartum yoga as the intervention group. The control group was comprised of 19 women. The gain score of uterine involution in the intervention group was 9.14 ± 1.27 and in the control group 7.20 ± 1.11. The Cohen’s effect size test is 1.63. The result of the mann whitney test showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention group and the control group with p value 0,000. The result of determination (R Square), postpartum yoga had an effect of 40.3% on uterine involution after being controlled simultaneously with parity, frequency of breastfeeding, and anxiety. Postpartum yoga is effective to strengthen the uterine muscles, facilitate blood circulation, and stimulate neurohormonal so it could accelerate uterine involution. Further studies could measure of fundus uterine daily. Future researchers can develop postpartum yoga research with other variables such as anxiety, urinary incontinence, quality of life for postpartum women, and hormonal variables including oxytocin, endorphins, and cortisol. Keywords: postpartum yoga, postpartum period, postpartum exercise, uterine involution

Abstract

Anemia is one of the health problems in Indonesia.  It was due to the suboptimal absorption of Fe and increased body acidity. Alkaline water is an alternative to improve hemoglobin levels since it can maximize the absorption of iron and balance the body's acid-base. The study aimed to examine the combination of alkaline water and iron tablets on Increasing the hemoglobin levels. A quasi-experimental study method with pre-test and post-test study with control group design. Forty-two samples were assigned to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group received a combination of alkaline water with a pH of 9.5 as much as 1 liter and 60 mg iron tablets for 14 days. The control group received 60 mg of iron tablets. The assessment of hemoglobin levels was conducted before and after treatment. The results showed that the combination of alkaline water and iron tablets positively affected the Hb level among adolescents. The results showed that the variety of alkaline water and iron tablets positively affected adolescents' Hb levels. The alkaline water can be proposed as an innovation to increase hemoglobin levels. Further studies are expected to control the socio-cultural factor and food factor. Future researchers can develop studies related to alkaline water by adding other variables, namely blood pH and Malondialdehyde (MDA)

Abstract

Backgrounds: Assessment of blood loss after delivery is important because intervention in the “golden hour” is crucial to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality. In fact, the biggest obstacle in overcoming postpartum blood loss are symptom recognition, accuracy, and timely diagnosis. Aims: The objective of this study was to analyze the strengths and weaknesses between visual estimation and quantification of blood loss measurements. Methods: Literature review was conducted using the electronic databases Science Direct, Pubmed, and Google Scholar. Measurement of blood loss and postpartum hemorrhage was used as keywords in searching strategy. A total of 23 from 17.200 of publications range from 2010 until May 2017 and presented in English language were included in this review. Results: Many studies show that quantification of blood loss method is better than visual estimation. Visual estimation of blood loss was imprecise, tend to underestimate blood loss, and thus to delay diagnosis of PPH, whilst quantification of blood loss more accurate and objective. Nonetheless, quantification methods not used routinely due to their unavailability, more time consuming, complicated, costly, and analyst workload increases. Conclusions: Modified measurement method and its existing protocol needed to overcome blood loss during postpartum.

Abstract

Backgrounds: The coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the world is still low. It is influenced by the limited number of breastfeeding counselors, the lack of education, advocacy and coaching breastfeeding support groups, maternal health and physiological factors (prolactin and oxytocin hormones). Dates contains oxytocin and many chemical elements which are good for breastfeeding mothers. Regular oxytocin massage therapy is also shown to increase the production of the oxytocin hormone. Aims: To compare the effectiveness of palm dates and oxytocin massage in stimulating breastmilk production of postpartum mothers. Methods: it is a literature review study, using keywords breastfeeding, palm dates and oxytocin massage from national and international journals. Results: The results shown that palm date and oxytocin massage have been proven to increase the oxytocin hormone that is influential on the smoothness of breastfeeding in postpartum mothers. Some studies noted that the palm dates contain potuchin hormone that serves spur blood vessel contractions around the breast spurring mammary gland to produce milk. In addition, there is the hormone oxytocin can help stimulating the contractions of the muscles of the uterus to facilitate childbirth. While oxytocin massage can increase milk production and the baby's weight and also to drive a contraction in the veins surround the breast and spurring the milk glands to produce milk. Conclusion: The results of several studies suggest that the oxytocin massage is more effective applied to increase oxytocin than the consumption of palm dates.

Abstract

Background: Competence of postpartum perineum wound suturing should be owned by midwives. However, students are limitedly trained on how to use cotton pads that are less representative in form and material. This results in a lack of student competence in perineum stitching practice. Aims: This study goal is to know the effectiveness of perineum wound suturing model made from flannel in order to increase stitching competence on the students of Midwifery study program of Banten Health Polytechnic. Methods: This research was designed using experimental design with post-test design method. The respondents consisted of 11 treatment group and 14 control group. The research implementation consisted of three stages. First, an introduction to the perineum wound sewing technique. Second, the model group practiced with flannel and cotton. Third, the respondents filled up the questionnaire on level of confidence and competence assessment of both groups of students. Data analysis used Mann Whitney test because the median difference of two independent groups if the dependent variable data scale is ordinal and ratio. Results: The results showed that the mean of perineum wound suturing competence in the model group was higher (83) than in the non-model group (74). The statistical test results obtained p = 0.002 which means that there was a significant difference in the competency of both groups. At the self confidence level of the respondents in performing perineum wound suturing, both groups had the same mean (4) with p = 0.651. At the time of perineum wound suturing, it is known that the model group mean was slightly faster (20 minutes) than the non-model group (22 minutes) with p = 0.978. There were no significant differences between the two variables. Conclusion: The study showed that the test model was better in improving the competence of the perineum wound suturing. Flannel model is also more affordable and can be sutured over and over so it is economical for students. Further study on efficient media is recommended so that duration and confidence would be better.

Abstract

Background: Anemia is a major cause of bleeding due to iron deficiency. Iron tablets which contain 60 mg of Ferrous Sulphate and 0.25 mg of folic acid did not show good results in changing the body’s iron level and there are many perceived side effects. However, there is now exists an oral iron tablets in the form of available salt compounds of ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulphate, and ferrous gluconate. These tablets contain iron hydroxide polymaltose complex (III) or better known as IPC (Iron Polymaltose Complex) and have minimal side effects. Aims: To understand the effect of IPC tablets in increasing the hemoglobin level in pregnant women with anemia. Methods: This study used quantitative study with pre-experimental design, or experiments that have not been applied in real terms. This study used non-probability sampling technique and purposive sampling for the selected sample. The sample were 35 people based on the inclusion criteria. The design used was one group pre-test – post-test approach without the control group. The subjects undertook the anemia examination on the first day (pre-test) and afterwards were administered 100mg IPC tablets daily for the next 30 days. In the end of the intervention, the subjects were re-examined and the results were compared (post-test). Results: The study showed that there is a significant increase of hemoglobin level in pregnant women with anemia with p value = 0.023 (p<0.05) after the intervention in the form of IPC tablet administration was conducted for 30 days. Conclusion: The intervention performed in administration of IPC tablets for pregnant women with anemia showed a significant increase of hemoglobin level before and after the provision of IPC tablets.
